John McCain tweets racist remarks about Iran's President Ahmadinejad. Not even remotely surprised.

So a little less than a week ago we received word that Iran had sent perhaps the most frightened looking monkey ever into space.

Now there is some controversy as to whether or not this even happened, but let's put that aside for now. More importantly for the purposes of this post is that even more recently Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the following:

"I'm ready to be the first Iranian to sacrifice myself for our country's scientists."

Now of course that statement is rife with opportunities for ridicule, especially considering the frightened look on that monkey's face. However John McCain eschewed any good natured ribbing or sarcastic bon mots, and instead decided that racism was the way to go.

Fucker kinncanon been reported for copywrite infringement for having a #UniteBlue twibbon on his twitter.I urge you all to join if your on twitter: Stronger Together@UniteBlue They will check out your tweets to make sure your not RWNJ and then you can add the twibbon and be protected against RWNJ have been trying to shut down twitter accts of libs.Cheating again....

Don't understand why you don't see it as racist. Allow me to help you out, typically, racist whites refer to brown people as sub human or animals, more often than not, monkeys. It is an overt put down to people of color. If you don't see it now, then I can't help you. As for it being intolerable for a Senator to make offensive jokes about the head of a foreign government, it should be intolerable for anyone to make offensive jokes about another race.

The John McCain dustup this morning over his tweet comparing Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a monkey has revealed the thinking behind conservative values. A Michigan Republican congressman accused McCain of being a racist, and then a conservative stepped into the fray to explain that it’s okay to be a racist/hater when making jokes about someone who is an “anti-semite”, which is the same argument six year olds use to excuse their bad behavior.

John McCain tweeted, “So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space – wasn’t he just there last week?” In this tweet, he linked to a story about Iran launching a monkey into space. After some backlash, McCain pulled out his “I was just joking, lighten up” card, which is crumbling from over-use but this is John McCain.

It’s true that John McCain can’t get out of the locker room long enough to realize how inappropriate he can be. McCain is known for making tasteless “jokes” while taking great umbrage at things he imagines others did or said.

George W. Bush supporter John Podhoretz, also a columnist for the New York Post and a speechwriter for former President Ronald Reagan as well as former President George H.W. Bush, stepped into the fray in order to defend McCain by explaining that it’s okay to be a racist against an anti-semite, “How dare McCain say something demeaning & disparaging abt the foremost anti-Semite on the planet.” He added, “So…it’s defend-the-Jew-hater-from-the-war-hero day.”

Wow? That SC guy must be completely BBQ'd before the end of this week. That tweet should send him to jail. That was evil and criminal. John? Well we will watch Johns head explode soon when homeland security by passes him AND RELEASE HIS DIRECT INVOLVMENT IN PUTTING AMERICA IN DIRECT AND EXTREME DANGER WITH THAT HALF AZZ EVIL SOCIOPATH OPPORTUNIST ON AMERICA. Yes indeed john will never be forgiven and forced to resign.

Also "I was the ONLY POW for 5 years I had no table to sit at, no chairs. For 5 years I had nothing" Some of the other POW should expose him, his nickname was Songbird. No wonder his military records are sealed. If not for his high ranking father and grandfather, this little troll would have been court martialed, before he totalled 5 jet planes.I can understand why his wife does not live with him. I do not understand why she does not divorce the old fart.

Has insane McCain looked in the mirror lately. He had more smegma on his suitcoat from his hair and face particles falling off I had had to turn it off because the man is simply gross. He is being destroyed from the inside out just like his heinous protege palin. Drop dead John, do us all a big favor

That old SOB can not get over losing to PBO..it's just eating him up.He has to live every day knowing how horrible SP was and is.He created this effin monster..I doubt if he sleeps at all, Cindy needs to get him some kind mental help..

Gryphen, it might help out the community here if you point out that Kincannon is the founder of TGDN, which is targeting liberals on twitter by getting them suspended. Sarah Jones on Politicususa had a good article describing what TGDN does, and how Unite Blue is fighting back.

All these horrible Republicans will die slow deaths when their times come. John McCain and Sarah Palin should suffer the most and assuredly will. They are truly a sick part of our nation.

I wouldn't be surprised that McCain would have run w/the KKK. He was such a failure at the academy - crashed various airplanes - picked the idiot Sarah Palin and I'll even wager he has a small you know what and constantly has had to compensate due to its size!

For the rest of john McCain's sorry ass life he will be remembered for his unpatriotic pick of Sarah Palin as his VP choice and history won't be kind to him either for his worst pick of a running mate ever in the history of man.

I don't think that John McCain's motto was ever "country first." It has always been "John McCain first." He is a spoiled and mean-spirited man with not a semblance of humility or of good sense.Beaglemom

The language around here sometimes gets pretty vile (cough) Gina (cough), but after reading these horrible tweets, it seems major vitriol is warranted. Reading through the responses, though, this group has been pretty civilized. Bravo IMers, you didn't sink to their level. I'm not saying this to be self-righteous; I'm proud that Progressives don't roll in the muck like the RWNJs do. Yay team.
